What are the benefits of reading novels?

I read novels for several years in high school, from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, and it was so crazy that I would read novels in class without even looking up. The disadvantages of reading novels are obvious. You waste time, waste your studies, and become addicted to an illusory world, making your spiritual world even more empty, just like taking drugs. In short, there are many disadvantages. But there are some benefits. 1. Reading novels can speed up your reading speed. Reading ten lines at a glance is basically the basic ability of people who often read novels. 2. Reading novels can improve your literary awareness. Haha, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I basically didn’t learn Chinese very much in high school, but in the final college entrance examination, I scored more than 120 points in Chinese, which is already a good score. But I still suggest that you don’t get too addicted to novels, learn from the past~! It does more harm than good.
